I got home a little after 5 p.m. after stopping at Walgreen's in Post Falls to pick up prescription refills and a few other odds and ends. About thirty minutes later I hear on my scanner that Walgreen's pharmacy had just been held up! The robber, whose note said he had a gun, escaped on foot and as of this post the police are still out searching for him. Male, about 5'7" to 5'8", possibly Hispanic, wearing a white or light color sweatshirt and black gloves. He held a black bag up to his face but the witnesses said they could see facial stubble. He also had a noticable cough. It should come as no surprise that he was after and stole Oxycontin, seven plastic bottles of the powerful narcotic.Be careful out there and call 9-1-1 if you think you may have seen him. See Post Falls PD site for security camera photo of suspect HERE.
